    the way I see it, and without too much info or analysis.

    Spain
    -quality team, confident, play as a team
    -extremely over valued, everyone things there amazing. remember this is sports, teams don't win always because they are the better side.

    France
    -alot of skilled individuals, people you can just imagine scoring
    -pretty decent win history against spain
    -just coming off of 3 lousy games, after a loss from Sweden, everyone thinks france sucks. they are undervalued.

    Who is likely to win, Spain perhaps. But, if you were to play this game 10 times, france would win atleast 4 me thinks.

    French Positives
    Mexes is suspended
    Quality players in attack
    Pace on the wings
    Moderate height

    French Negatives
    Unrest in French camp, toxic players like Evra have been benched
    Lack of pressure and effort to win the ball back (France has covered the least ground of any qtr final side)

    Spain Positives
    Quality through out the team
    Experience in winning knock out games
    Will have loads of possession
    Lead tournament in all relative attacking statistics (shots, on target, corners etc)

    Spain Negatives:
    Lack of height
    Only have one way to attack (elaborate tiki-taka buildups)
    Fernando Torres ability to miss sitters

    The French team conflict was over the disappointment of the Sweden defeat, the assistant manager has cleared it up that it was healthy that the players reacted badly to losing top spot in the group and they met for a team meeting hours later to clear the air, whether there are lingering troubles in the team is unknown and word out of the French camp is everyone is positive and striving to make up for the Sweden shock defeat.
    Anyway i still havent fully decided on a play,agree with the guy above not to touch it,but i could be leaning towards the draw at +250..
    Spain havent been firing on all cylinders,Ribery in particular could expose Arbeloa and there are doubts Del Bosque is fully sure of his best 11 and tactics.

    After last game, I can't, don't, want to put anything on France. Something is not right within the team.

    France +.75 -119 is the best play. Ridiculous value

    Spain does not have it, their best case is 1-0, equally likely as 1-1 or France 1-0

    What kills me is the fighting in the French locker room....they could crumble.

    You have no idea what happened, all rumors. This is not WC where there was mutiny. Blanc has cleaned it up. If anything, maybe it shows players care enough to be upset for losing a virtually meaningless game, and they will pull together here with a far better effort

    It's not meaningless when France could have been ko if Ukraine had won and because they lost, they have to face the best team in the world instead.
